Disrupting Obesity
The Disrupting Obesity podcast is for anyone who’s looking to lose an extreme amount of weight and change their relationship with food so they can keep the pounds off. If you’re tired of feeling judged for being fat, of excluding yourself or being left out, and using food to comfort, reward, and cope with your emotions and the day to day, don’t waste time beating yourself up. You absolutely have what it takes to lose a significant amount of weight naturally in a way that you can sustain and that will ensure you keep the weight off too.
Hosted by Charlotte Skanes, a weight loss coach who lost and is keeping off over two hundred pounds, this show will give you the strategies and mindset you need to drop the weight. It’s going to encourage you and motivate you so that you can build the confidence and self-belief to find the healthiest version of yourself. It’s not about the food. It’s about your relationship with food. Once you start to change that relationship you can start disrupting obesity.

095 Ask Whatever XXXII: Reframing Language Around Food, Sweet Cravings, and Showing Up for Yourself
Continuing with another Spring Cleaning “Ask Whatever”, I’ll be answering my ever growing back log of questions from listeners just like you! In this one, I’m diving into your questions around language, cravings, commitment, and all the tricky mindset moments that can make or break your weight loss journey. I’ll explore how the words we use, like "binge, overeating and treats" carry emotional weight and impact how we actually relate to food. I also get into questions about calorie tracking, managing sweet cravings, exercising, and how to commit to yourself even when it’s hard. As always, I’m keeping it honest and focused on helping you get unstuck. Listen in for more on:
• Why using specific language can sabotage your progress.
• How to reframe “overeating” and remove the guilt from “special” foods.
• Tools for managing cravings without cutting out sugar entirely
• Why calories, not timing or macros, matter most for weight loss.
• How to commit to yourself even when motivation is low.
• A Good For You Gladys Question of the Week!
• The truth about weight loss meds and why internal work (your relationship with food) still matters.
• What I mean when I say “spread, sprinkle, pour” and how to start there.
• My experience with discipline, pink hair, and staying focused on my goal.
If you’ve ever struggled with how you talk to yourself, how to track your calories, or how to stay consistent through hard days, I’m here to help and remind you you’re not alone. So keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated, and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!
